The teams on mount Everest in 1996 where put through many challenges, the risks that were put in front of them and why they have the thrill and want to climb that God of a mountain. Many teams, leaders, and sherpas went up that magnificent mountain but many did not come back down.
17 teams went up and 17 came done but without some leaders and climbers. 15 climbers did not come down on May 10. These teams varied from veterans hikes on the mountain to amichurs hikers, each team consisted of around 10 to 20 people per team that are put together from around the world to climb one mountain. So, that's about 180 people not able to speak the same language stuck in a blizzard on top of the world. Plus all of the sherpas and other helping hands.
